Press Release

 

GasLog Ltd. Reports Financial Results for the Three-Month Period Ended December 31, 2021

 

Hamilton, Bermuda, February 24, 2022, GasLog Ltd. and its subsidiaries (“GasLog”, “Group” or “Company”) (NYSE: GLOG-PA), an international owner, operator and manager of liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) carriers, today reported its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2021.

 

Recent Developments

 

Gastrade S.A. (“Gastrade”) Final Investment Decision (“FID”)

 

On January 28, 2022, the shareholders of Gastrade, a private limited company licensed to develop an independent natural gas system, in which GasLog owns a 20% shareholding, took the FID for the construction of a regasification terminal in Alexandroupolis. The FID is the last and most important milestone before the project enters the construction phase. The Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (“FSRU”) will be connected to the National Natural Gas Transmission System of Greece with a 28.0 km long pipeline, through which the gasified LNG will be transmitted to the markets of Greece, Bulgaria and the wider region. The terminal is expected to be operational by the end of 2023, with the contracted regasification capacity already reaching up to 50% of its technical capacity of 5.5 billion square meters per year.

 

To facilitate the reception, storage and regasification of LNG, on February 2, 2022, GasLog agreed to the sale of the GasLog Chelsea, a 153,600 cubic meter (“cbm”) tri-fuel diesel electric propulsion (“TFDE”) LNG carrier built in 2013, to Gastrade following its conversion to an FSRU. In connection therewith, on January 28, 2022, GasLog issued to Keppel Shipyard Ltd. a Final Notice to Proceed with the conversion. The conversion is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2023.

 

Sale and Lease-Back Arrangements

 

On January 26, 2022, GasLog signed a Heads of Agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Development Bank Leasing (“CDBL”) for the sale and lease-back of the GasLog Skagen, a 155,000 cbm TFDE LNG carrier built in 2013. The vessel will be sold and leased back under a bareboat charter with CDBL for a period of five years with no repurchase option or obligation. This transaction will be completed in the first quarter of 2022 and is expected to release $21.4 million of incremental net liquidity (net sale proceeds less debt prepayment) to the Group, while the vessel remains on its charter with Chevron Asia Pacific Shipping Pte. Ltd. (“Chevron”).

 

On October 26, 2021, GasLog Partners LP (“GasLog Partners” or the “Partnership”) and GasLog completed the sale and lease-back of the GasLog Shanghai and the GasLog Salem, two 155,000 cbm TFDE LNG carriers, built in 2013 and 2015, respectively, with a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDBL, releasing $42.8 million of incremental net liquidity (net sale proceeds less debt prepayment) to the Group. The vessels were sold and leased back under bareboat charters with CDBL for a period of five years with no repurchase option or obligation, resulting in the recognition of a total loss on disposal of $1.1 million. The vessels remain on their charters with a wholly owned subsidiary of Gunvor Group Ltd. (“Gunvor”).

 

Newbuilding Orders

 

On November 30, 2021, GasLog entered into four shipbuilding contracts with Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Co., Ltd. (“Daewoo”) for the construction of four 174,000 cbm LNG carriers with the latest generation MEGI propulsion that are scheduled to be delivered in 2024 and 2025. Post quarter end, on February 2, 2022, GasLog entered into a time charter party agreement with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (“Mitsui”), to charter one of the newbuildings for a period of nine years, commencing in the fourth quarter of 2024. In addition, on February 8, 2022, GasLog entered into two time charter agreements with a major LNG producer to charter two of the newbuildings for a period of ten years each, commencing upon delivery of each vessel from the shipyard in the third and fourth quarter of 2025.

 

Impairment Loss

 

In the quarter ended December 31, 2021, the Group recognized an aggregate non-cash impairment loss of $125.8 million with respect to five Steam turbine propulsion (“Steam”) vessels owned by the Partnership and one Steam vessel owned by GasLog, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as compared to an aggregate impairment loss of $6.2 million for the same period in 2020. The principal factors that led to the recognition of a non-cash impairment loss in the fourth quarter of 2021 included the differences of the ship broker estimates of our Steam vessels’ fair market values compared to their carrying values, as well as reduced expectations of the long-term rates for these older technology vessels. In addition, in the quarter ended December 31, 2021, GasLog recognized a non-cash impairment loss of $11.0 million with respect to some of the historical FSRU conversion costs from which future economic benefits are no longer expected to flow to the Group.

 

New Charter Agreements

 

In the first quarter of 2022, GasLog extended the time charter of the GasLog Salem with Gunvor for an additional twelve months.

 

 

 

Chief Executive Officer Transition

 

Paul Wogan, Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of GasLog, has informed the board of directors of GasLog (the “Board”) that he intends to retire from his role as CEO effective March 9, 2022. He will remain in an advisory role through the second quarter of 2022 in order to ensure a smooth transition. The Board is pleased to appoint Paolo Enoizi, currently Chief Operating Officer ("COO") of the Company as well as CEO of GasLog Partners, as CEO of GasLog, effective March 10, 2022.

 

Dividend Declarations

 

On November 15, 2021, the board of directors declared a dividend on the Series A Preference Shares of $0.546875 per share, or $2.5 million in the aggregate, payable on January 1, 2022, to holders of record as of December 31, 2021. GasLog paid the declared dividend to the transfer agent on December 31, 2021.

 

On November 15, 2021, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per common share, or $14.3 million in the aggregate, paid on November 18, 2021, to shareholders of record as of November 17, 2021. On the same date, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per common share, or $9.5 million in the aggregate, payable on February 28, 2022, to shareholders of record as of February 25, 2022.

 

Financial Summary

 

Amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars except per share data  For the three months ended 
   December 31, 2020   December 31, 2021 
Revenues  $192,602   $223,078 
Profit/(loss) for the period  $45,948   $(59,981)
Adjusted EBITDA1  $138,334   $164,896 
Adjusted Profit1  $47,236   $63,344 

 

1Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Profit are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be used in isolation or as substitutes for GasLog’s financial results presented in accordance with IFRS. For the definitions and reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS, please refer to Exhibit II at the end of this press release.

 

There were 3,220 available days for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, as compared to 2,847 available days for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. Available days represent total calendar days in the period after deducting off-hire days where vessels are undergoing dry-dockings and unavailable days (i.e. days before and after a dry-docking where the vessel has limited practical ability for chartering opportunities). The increase in available days was mainly driven by the deliveries of the GasLog wholly owned vessels, the GasLog Georgetown, the GasLog Galveston, the GasLog Wellington and the GasLog Winchester on November 16, 2020, January 4, 2021, June 15, 2021 and August 24, 2021, respectively, the increased utilization of the vessels operating in the spot market and the decrease in off-hire days for scheduled dry-dockings (45 dry-docking off-hire days in the three-month period ended December 31, 2020 compared to nil dry-docking off-hire days in the three-month period ended December 31, 2021).

 

Revenues were $223.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 ($192.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020). The increase in revenues is mainly attributable to an increase of $22.5 million due to the aforementioned deliveries of the GasLog wholly-owned vessels and to an increase of $7.9 million from the improved performance of our spot fleet in the fourth quarter of 2021, in line with the ongoing improvement of the LNG shipping market observed in 2021.

 

Loss for the period was $60.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 (profit of $45.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020). The decrease in Profit is mainly attributable to the decrease in profit from operations, which is mainly affected by the increase in impairment loss recognized, the increased depreciation due to the increased fleet from the newbuilding deliveries, partially offset by the increase in revenues, as discussed above. The decrease in profit from operations is partially offset by an increase in gain on derivatives, mainly due to the increase in the mark-to-market valuation of derivatives held for trading which were carried at fair value through profit or loss.

 

Adjusted EBITDA was $164.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 ($138.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020). The increase in Adjusted EBITDA is mainly attributable to the increase in revenues of $30.5 million, as discussed above and a decrease of $2.5 million in general and administrative expenses – adjusted for the effects of the restructuring costs, the foreign exchange gains, net and the costs relating to the transaction with BlackRock’s Global Energy & Power Infrastructure team (the “Transaction”) (such costs, the “Transaction Costs”) - due to decreased foreign exchange losses from the favorable movement of the Euro (“EUR”)/U.S. dollar (“USD”) exchange rate in the fourth quarter of 2021 and reduced employee and legal costs. The above variances were partially offset by an increase of $3.2 million in vessel operating expenses mainly due to the increased fleet from the newbuilding deliveries, which was partially offset by a decrease in technical maintenance expenses primarily in connection with increased maintenance needs of the fleet in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2021.

 

Adjusted Profit was $63.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 ($47.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020). The increase in Adjusted Profit is mainly attributable to the decrease in Profit for the period as discussed above, adjusted for the effects of the impairment loss recognized in 2021, the write-off of unamortized loan fees as a result of the GasLog Shanghai and the GasLog Salem debt prepayments pursuant to the sale and leaseback transactions completed in October 2021, the restructuring costs, the non-cash gain on derivatives,

 

 

 

the foreign exchange gains, net, the net unrealized foreign exchange gains on cash and bonds, the Transaction Costs and the impairment loss.

 

As of December 31, 2021, GasLog had $282.2 million of cash and cash equivalents.

 

As of December 31, 2021, GasLog had an aggregate of $3.7 billion of indebtedness outstanding under its credit facilities and bond agreements, of which $553.2 million is repayable within one year ($315.0 million of which relates to the 8.875% Senior Notes), and $302.9 million of lease liabilities mainly related to the sale and leaseback of the Methane Julia Louise, the GasLog Shanghai and the GasLog Salem, of which $30.9 million is payable within one year. GasLog has hedged 43.7% of its expected floating interest rate exposure on its outstanding debt (excluding the lease liabilities and the 8.875% Senior Notes) as of December 31, 2021.

 

As of December 31, 2021, GasLog’s current assets totaled $325.6 million, while current liabilities totaled $779.1 million, resulting in a negative working capital position of $453.5 million. Current liabilities include $315.0 million relating to the 8.875% Senior Notes, that mature on March 22, 2022 and which we have successfully refinanced with the Note Purchase Agreement with certain affiliates of the Carlyle Group and EIG, and Wilmington Trust (London) as administrative agent, for an amount of up to $325.0 million of 7.75% Notes due in 2029 (the “Refinancing”) entered into on September 24, 2021, and $69.8 million of unearned revenue in relation to hires received in advance of December 31, 2021 (which represents a non-cash liability that will be recognized as revenue in January 2022 as the services are rendered).

 

Management monitors the Company’s liquidity position throughout the year to ensure that it has access to sufficient funds to meet its forecast cash requirements, including newbuilding and debt service commitments, and to monitor compliance with the financial covenants within its loan and bond facilities. We anticipate that our primary sources of funds for at least twelve months from the date of this report will be available cash, cash from operations and existing borrowings and the Refinancing of the 8.875% Senior Notes we concluded in September 2021. We believe that these anticipated sources of funds will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs and to comply with our financial covenants for at least twelve months from the date of this report and therefore it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

 

GasLog Partners Preference Unit Repurchase Programme

 

In March 2021, GasLog Partners established a preference unit repurchase programme (the “Repurchase Programme”), which authorized the repurchase of preference units through March 31, 2023. In the three months ended December 31, 2021, GasLog Partners repurchased and cancelled a total of 130,093 8.200% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Fixed to Floating Rate Preference Units (the “Series B Preference Units”) and 114,548 8.500% Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Fixed to Floating Rate Series C Preference Units (the “Series C Preference Units”) under the Repurchase Programme for an aggregate amount of $6.0 million, including commissions.

 

In the year ended December 31, 2021, and since inception of the Repurchase Programme, GasLog Partners has repurchased and cancelled an aggregate of 464,429 Series B Preference Units and 269,549 Series C Preference Units at a weighted average price of $25.00 per preference unit for both Series. The total amount paid during the period for repurchases of preference units was $18.4 million, including commissions.

EXHIBIT II

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

 

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Profit

 

EBITDA is defined as earnings before depreciation, amortization, financial income and costs, gain/loss on derivatives and taxes. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before foreign exchange gains/losses, impairment loss, gain/loss on disposal of non-current assets, restructuring costs and Transaction Costs. Adjusted Profit represents earnings before write-off and accelerated amortization of unamortized loan fees/bond fees and premium, foreign exchange gains/losses, unrealized foreign exchange losses on cash and bond, impairment loss, swap optimization costs (with respect to cash collateral amendments), gain/loss on disposal of non-current assets, restructuring costs, Transaction Costs and non-cash gain/loss on derivatives that includes (if any) (a) unrealized gain/loss on derivative financial instruments held for trading, (b) recycled loss of cash flow hedges reclassified to profit or loss and (c) ineffective portion of cash flow hedges. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Profit are non-GAAP financial measures that are used as supplemental financial measures by management and external users of financial statements, such as investors, to assess our financial and operating performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures assist our management and investors by increasing the comparability of our performance from period to period. We believe that including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Profit assists our management and investors in (i) understanding and analyzing the results of our operating and business performance, (ii) selecting between investing in us and other investment alternatives and (iii) monitoring our ongoing financial and operational strength in assessing whether to purchase and/or to continue to hold our common shares. This is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of, in the case of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, financial costs, gain/loss on derivatives, taxes, depreciation and amortization; in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, foreign exchange gains/losses, impairment loss, gain/loss on disposal of non-current assets, restructuring costs and Transaction Costs; and in the case of Adjusted Profit, write-off and accelerated amortization of unamortized loan/bond fees and premium, foreign exchange gains/losses, unrealized foreign exchange losses on cash and bond, impairment loss, swap optimization costs (with respect to cash collateral amendments), gain/loss on disposal of non-current assets, restructuring costs, Transaction Costs and non-cash gain/loss on derivatives, which items are affected by various and possibly changing financing methods, financial market conditions, capital structure and historical cost basis, and which items may significantly affect results of operations between periods. In the current period, Transaction Costs are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Profit because they are charges and items not considered to be reflective of the ongoing operations of the company, that we believe reduce the comparability of our operating and business performance across periods.

 

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Profit have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered as alternatives to, or as substitutes for, or superior to, profit, profit from operations, earnings per share or any other measure of operating performance presented in accordance with IFRS. Some of these limitations include the fact that they do not reflect (i) our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments, (ii) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs and (iii) the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt. Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Profit are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows and other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

 

In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Profit, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as, or similar to, some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Profit should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by the excluded items. Therefore, the non-GAAP financial measures as presented below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies in the shipping or other industries.
